Team member doubles as barber, gives young patient fresh fade
Jakarr Ashley has been inpatient at Riley Hospital for Children for three months waiting on a heart transplant. His parents recently had a chance encounter with a team member, Antwain Booker, who also owns a mobile barber shop. "Jakarr's mom found Antwain on google reviews and actually gave him a call to see if he could come up [to Jakarr's room] to give him a hair cut," said Jerry Ashley, Jakarr's dad. "When you get a fresh cut and he gets all the compliments... I think it just boosts up his energy."
